Sorry you have been in pain, but welcome. I saw two podiatrists and several docs at my family practice who missed my diagnosis before seeing an orthopedist who suspected RSD. He sent me to the pain doc. The pain doctor figured it out and started my treatment. He also had me see a vascular doc and a neurologist to rule out other problems. Then i switched pain docs because the first one wasn't considering all the treatment options. I guess what I am saying is that you definitely need to see someone who already has experience with RSD, and even after that you may need to look around to find someone you are comfortable with, if your insurance/health care system will allow you too. Don't give up or settle for someone who doesn't respect you.
